MPEG Streamclip and PS3?

[majordude]

What are the best settings for converting DVDs or other videos to PS3 (using MPEG Streamclip) with as high a quality score as possible?

Have you tried [url="http://www.handbrake.fr]"Handbrake[/url]?

I think it might better serve your end goal.

Handbrake does DVD to ps3?

HandBrake does DVD to more or less anything. Just make sure it's in a file format the PS3 recognizes and you're good to go.

I downloaded HB and it rips movies to the iPad rather well but there isn't a pre-set for the PS3! :-(

Any ideas on what the proper settings are?

This is what I found listed as PS3 compatible types

Memory Stick Video Format
- MPEG-4 SP (AAC LC)
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile （AAC LC）
- MPEG-2 TS（H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, AAC LC）
MP4 file format
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile (AAC LC)
MPEG-1 (MPEG Audio Layer 2)
MPEG-2 PS (MPEG2 Audio Layer 2, AAC LC, AC3(Dolby Digital), LPCM)
MPEG-2 TS（MPEG2 Audio Layer 2, AC3（Dolby Digital）, AAC LC）
MPEG-2 TS（H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, AAC LC）
AVI
- Motion JPEG (Linear PCM)
- Motion JPEG (μ-Law)
AVCHD （.m2ts / .mts）
DivX
WMV
- VC-1（WMA Standard V2）

I would say use teh AppleTV or AppleTV2 preset, and see if that works. Just change the file extension in the name from .m4v to .mp4. This should work for you. I believe it uses h.264 and aac for this type of compression.
